“Our daily needs”
Now, we will discuss something very controversial today of how the will of God speak in our daily needs and wants; physically, materially and emotionally.
Questions:
1. Does our future depend on God’s will?
2. The sickness, diseases, disasters, and accidents are really the will of God to chastise people?
3. Healing is by God’s will?
4. The wealth & poverty are God’s will?
5. Achievement, success, and employment are God’s will?
6. And failure is God’s will?
I think these are enough questions to describe why people pray to God everyday and believing that he is in control of all issues in life. In reality, most of the Christians cannot answer these questions with a solid proof. They just say yes it is the will of God, because they believe in God as the creator of all. Thus, God becomes the reason of everything.
Answers:
(Take note that our topic is concerning physical, material, and emotional aspects.)
Actually, at the sixth day of the creation all things are completely made by God with its future. If you can remember the first part of our discussion, the creation is like a building composed of materials and can be seen in the plans and perspective. Because God is the only perfect existence, therefore all things are not. The reason is he created imperfect things perfectly for his glory like he created darkness to show his light. What I mean is, God did construct the building perfectly using imperfect materials. The same concept when he formed man from dust.
In the beginning, he created the heaven and the earth. As you can imagine the earth and the heaven without sun, moon, and stars to light upon them, the waters and earth that within are dead too. Basically, the earth was stable and has no life because there was no sun.
But then he put lights to shine upon it, and this is exactly where our concept begins; from death to life and from darkness to light, as the original pattern for all.
That is why in the Bible there is old covenant to establish the new one. There are:
Heaven and earth
Spirit and flesh
Invisible and visible
Perfect and imperfect
Just and unjust
Good and evil
Wise and fool
Great and small
And etc…..
In other words, all things written and created are always have its distinction for the main purpose; that the light may shine upon it, for his glory.
Thus, everything in this world has its own prepared vessels to exist, either through nature or through God’s creation. Man particularly, dominion all things that have life on this earth.
But because of its nature, that he was formed from dust, so he must return to dust. The body of flesh is corrupt and has limitations. From here we can see that the destiny of flesh is always until dust which will naturally die caused by natures like; sickness, diseases, disasters, and accidents. And its life span depends on how the body works itself. As God said in the beginning;
Like if you are sickly and lazy, then you cannot live longer as the rule of nature. But there were times recorded in time past that God intervened natures. We can read this story many times in the Bible of how God intervened physically to man, like those who disobeyed his voice; he confounded the language, destroyed by water, and destroyed by fire. And to them whom he loved; he gave daily bread, possessions, and guided in every war against enemies. In short, he did all things to them materially, physically, and emotionally.
And what about today, are we like them who could receive such intervention?
I believe their way of living is by God’s will, it was necessary to be fulfilled by his own because they failed to do so. Their future depends on the supernatural causes made by the powers of the Almighty. But when all things are done, something has changed. It is no longer a direct intervention but through knowledge and understanding.
Therefore, if you have knowledge about the physical intervention of God and its purpose, you will understand that this will of God has ended in 70 AD; the second coming of the Son of man with great vengeance, like lightning that destroyed the city of Israel.
Now in this age, our earthly problems can only be solved by the knowledge of his will. For example; if you want something to eat, then understand what it says.
The truth is God had already answered our prayers materially, physically, and emotionally through the guides given. And everything that is in accordance to his final words is his will to man or shall I say;
If you work wisely, then you become rich.
If you eat well, then you become healthy.
If you drink medicine, then you will be healed.
If you live along the river, then you will be flooded later.
If you are in the middle of disaster, then you will be dead.
If you do good to others, then you have rewards.
If you will not angry, so you have no enemy.
If you love your wife, then you cannot leave her.
All of what you did today are guided by the written word of God. So stop blaming Him if you did not succeed but be aware of what is written.
Thus, your knowledge in all things with the guidance of his written instructions is now the will of God for your earthly life. So never think that God will directly INTERVENE your problem supernaturally for it is about the knowledge of his will. The will that says; do what is good in the flesh for the grace He gave is enough for everything.
Like what happened to Timothy, Trophimus and Paul physically; their problem will no longer be healed supernaturally but through knowledge they should understand.

- Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
But then he put lights to shine upon it, and this is exactly where our concept begins; from death to life and from darkness to light, as the original pattern for all.
- Gen 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
That is why in the Bible there is old covenant to establish the new one. There are:
Heaven and earth
Spirit and flesh
Invisible and visible
Perfect and imperfect
Just and unjust
Good and evil
Wise and fool
Great and small
And etc…..
In other words, all things written and created are always have its distinction for the main purpose; that the light may shine upon it, for his glory.
- Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Thus, everything in this world has its own prepared vessels to exist, either through nature or through God’s creation. Man particularly, dominion all things that have life on this earth.
- Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
But because of its nature, that he was formed from dust, so he must return to dust. The body of flesh is corrupt and has limitations. From here we can see that the destiny of flesh is always until dust which will naturally die caused by natures like; sickness, diseases, disasters, and accidents. And its life span depends on how the body works itself. As God said in the beginning;
- Genesis 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
Like if you are sickly and lazy, then you cannot live longer as the rule of nature. But there were times recorded in time past that God intervened natures. We can read this story many times in the Bible of how God intervened physically to man, like those who disobeyed his voice; he confounded the language, destroyed by water, and destroyed by fire.

Their future depends on the supernatural causes made by the powers of the Almighty. But when all things are done, something has changed. It is no longer a direct intervention but through knowledge and understanding.
- Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
- Philippians 1:9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
- Colossians 1:9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
- Colossians 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
- 1 Corinthians 1:5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
- 2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
- 2 Corinthians 8:7 Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
Therefore, if you have knowledge about the physical intervention of God and its purpose, you will understand that this will of God has ended in 70 AD; the second coming of the Son of man with great vengeance, like lightning that destroyed the city of Israel.
Now in this age, our earthly problems can only be solved by the knowledge of his will. For example; if you want something to eat, then understand what it says.
- 2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
The truth is God had already answered our prayers materially, physically, and emotionally through the guides given. And everything that is in accordance to his final words is his will to man or shall I say;
If you work wisely, then you become rich.
If you eat well, then you become healthy.
If you drink medicine, then you will be healed.

Like what happened to Timothy, Trophimus and Paul physically; their problem will no longer be healed supernaturally but through knowledge they should understand.
- 2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
- 1 Timothy 5:23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.
- 2 Timothy 4:20 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.
